[mou] Golden Valley today

[alyssa]

There were a lot of birds out at Cortlawn Pond (both trails) and the General Mills Nature Preserve. Nothing paricuarly special. Birds seen:

-Warbler count diminished to only 5 species today. Yellow-rumped's were ev-er-y-where!

-Sparrow count abounded to 8 species today. Singing Song and White-throated's. Quite a few Lincoln's, plus my first junco and Fox Sparrows of the season (finally!) At General Mills, a flock of 100+ birds were seen. Half of them were finches, the other half were sparrows (Savannah and Chipping.) 

-Young Cooper's Hawk failed to catch the cautious Fox Sparrows.

Besides that, same birds were seen as reported earlier this week. Good birding~
